Blogs are a personal place for the creator, and a source of entertainment for its readers. Lauren Conrad created a blog to express her creativity and show the rest of the world her crafts, designs, and feelings. Lauren Conrad is a fashion icon for many younger generations. She first started off in the world of fame with her starring roles in reality TV, The Hills, and Laguna Beach. Towards the end of these shows, Lauren was given an internship with Teen Vogue, and ever since has worked her way up in the fashion world, and is admired by many across the world. Her fashion sense led to creativity that has trending all over the world and the United States.

Lauren Conrad’s blog, is simply entitled with her name, and the theme is very “girly.” Lauren displays designs of her clothing. She sometimes even shows the steps in which she takes to make the designs. Lauren also features eating tips on her blog. From ways to get fit and stay healthy and what to eat and recipes she has tried recently. On Lauren’s blog there is also a section on how to do makeup and hair, in which she gives tutorials and makes suggestions on beauty products she has used. Along with makeup tutorials there is also a section for crafts and decorating ideas. The final sections of Lauren’s blog are book reviews and then a link to her clothing line, Paper Crown. Lauren displays these topics with key words to begin their pages. Wear, primp, get fit, dine, decorate, craft, read, boutique.

Lauren’s blog not only is famous because she is, but because it provides basic everyday information for females. She appeals and targets her audience. She listens to what they are looking for and that is what she posts about. She allows insight into her life which people find interesting, and keep them coming back for more. Lauren Conrad’s blog is ranked as one of the top 100 blogs to read.

I find myself checking up on her blog ever so often because I find the tips useful. The best part about the blog, is that the posts are relatable. There aren’t crazy hair tutorials that only a professional could do, and decorations that only someone who has a JoAnn Fabrics in their house could make, but things that everyday people could partake in. It is also very user friendly, and simply pretty to look at. Lauren Conrad has personalized everything to be very warming and crafty.

If creating a blog that one would want to make popular and desirable to keep reading more from week to week, one must target an audience, pick a theme, and then tailor to the audience and theme. If you are passionate about what you are posting and presenting to your readers, than it can be a successful blog. Lauren Conrad’s blog is personal to her, but she also personalizes it to her audience so they can feel as if they are a part of her personal space.
